I'd like to thank the authors and WG for listening and responding to
comments / concerns. I've just taken the (bizarre) action of updating
my ballot after the telechat has closed, to change from Abstain to No
Objection.
This doesn't change anything (Abstain is non-blocking), but I wanted
to signal that my major source of concern has been addressed, and
that, in my opinion, the process worked.
So, a purely symbolic action, but I felt it was worth doing.

Thank you all,
W

This seems like a minor and inconsequential change, though I'd like to hear from the WG to understand if folks object. To that end, if you disagree with this change, can you please let us know why?

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
